Looking ahead, the next significant support for the index is in the 21,400 to 21,500 zone, while on the upside, a sustained break above the immediate resistance at 21,900 to 22,000 could clear the path for a potential move towards the 22,500 level.

Aatmanirbhar Bharat: How India’s Rs 79,000 Crore Boost Recharges Domestic Defence

The Centre recently cleared major defense proposals worth approximately Rs 79,000 crore to significantly strengthen the capabilities of the Indian Armed Forces. This investment serves to immediately boost defense preparedness while aligning with the government’s self-reliance push, known as the Aatmanirbhar Bharat vision, by prioritizing indigenously developed systems.

These decisions, led by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, fund mission-critical modernization across all services. The Indian Army will acquire the Nag Missile System (Tracked) Mark-II and a Ground-Based Mobile Electronic Intelligence System. The Navy receives Landing Platform Docks and Advanced Lightweight Torpedoes. For the Air Force, a Collaborative Long-Range Target Saturation and Destruction System was approved. This substantial clearance enhances logistics, electronic intelligence gathering, and specialized combat across land, air, and maritime environments.
